Peter Cobbold Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I never assume the car is safe on axle stands alone, in case hidden chassis rust allows it to collapse on me . I add spare wheels, wooden blocks or ramps to provide a second line of support. Belt and braces, I know, but TRs do rust. Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel A Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 A week or so ago, got a small cut on my finger. Ignored it and carried on working on the car. It got infected and went to A & E yesterday. On the way my daughter joked that they would probably have to cut my finger off The nurse took one look and told me to relax whilst she got a scalpel. She froze it prior to draining it. I'll leave out the gory bits in case anyone is eating, but it hurt like hell. She then wheeled over the laughing gas bottle and I got an incredible high Afterwards she joked that I now know how painful childbirth is!! Anyone know where I can get a bottle of laughing gas Cheers Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Easy, just look for "Whipped Cream Kit" on eBay. Look for one complete with balloons Scary, isn't it? John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stevecross Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 We rent out a holiday cottage. After one long weekend let my wife & I went in to turn the house over for our next visitors. The kitchen was a bit of a mess but nothing damaged or broken but every work surface was covered with a couple of hundred empty Nox bottles with burst balloons all over the floor. Always thought I was fairly clued up but was a bit surprised that the group we had that weekend were so into cream tea parties with whipped cream& balloons. Felt a bit of a fool when my 14 year old Daughter explained what it was all about! Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
